Chapter 138

This made the little green snake faint.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhankan put the snake into a small porcelain jar and sealed it with the array base.

"The poisonous insect is a snake..."

Zhu Zhankan took out the head of the Japanese envoy and prepared to study the envoy's head first.

Except for a few holes in this head, any other internal fillings have basically disappeared!

The inside of this head can be said to be cleaner than a brush!

Zhu Zhankan fiddled with this head curiously.

"Strange, how did the white striped worm kill so many people? What are the conditions for killing? It can't be indiscriminate killing, right?"

Although it is really puzzling to have such a weird thing.

However, Zhu Zhankan is still very interested in this kind of thing.

......

When Zhu Zhankan was studying the poisonous insect, the capital fell into silence again.

And everyone knows that hidden behind this period of tranquility, there must be a bloody storm!

The Jinyiwei's large-scale activities in the capital are naturally because of the Japanese envoy.

Of course, it was not to investigate the death of the Japanese envoy, but to arrest anyone from the Japanese country and anyone who had connections with the Japanese.

For a time, people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty began to feel insecure!

It was not that there were really so many people colluding with the Japanese.

The main reason was that since the Hongwu Dynasty, the reputation of the Jinyiwei has always been very bad!

It is not enough to describe it as bad, it should be said that it is infamous!

Confessions under torture, bloody and cold, framing loyal people...

These seem to have become synonymous with the Jinyiwei, although the Jinyiwei has always been following the orders of the emperor.

But how could these crimes be blamed on the emperor?

The emperor is supreme and has the final say.

How could there be a mistake? If there was a mistake, it was because the Jinyiwei misunderstood the emperor's instructions!

Under the deliberate promotion of some people with ulterior motives, the reputation of the Jinyiwei became infamous!

And the Jinyiwei who arrested people openly on the street was regarded as a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh by people!

Yang Rong and Jin Youzi gathered together to discuss how to deal with the Jinyiwei's interrogation.

"Mianren." Jin Youzi said to Yang Rong: "Do you know why the Jinyiwei made such a big move this time?"

Yang Rong frowned and said: "It seems to be because of the death of the Japanese envoy? But it doesn't look like it!"

Yang Rong is a member of the cabinet and one of the few confidants of Zhu Di in the cabinet!

The main function of the cabinet is to provide solutions to a certain policy, and Yang Rong can enter the cabinet because he has quick wit in military affairs!

When Zhu Di was marching, he proposed many good countermeasures and was trusted and valued by Zhu Di.

Unfortunately, he himself has a big problem!

His personal morality is not so good!

Although he himself is not very corrupt, his family is a bit greedy.

"Yes, I went to pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and His Royal Highness looked confused." Jin Youzi explained.

Chapter 147 Digging up a big fish

Yang Rong and Jin Youzi racked their brains to figure out why the Jinyiwei made such a big fuss.

Maybe it was just to target the death of the Japanese envoy?

The two who couldn't figure it out simply stopped thinking about it.

Yang Rong walked to Jin Youzi's government office and left.

Jin Youzi looked at Yang Rong's back as he walked away, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Mianren, you should restrain yourself.

Thinking of this, Jin Youzi felt a little bored again.

No one can escape the temptation of money and sex...

Even Yang Rong and Yang Mianren, who were full of vigor and vitality at the beginning, could not escape the corruption of fame and fortune!

Even court ministers like Jin Youzi knew about Yang Rong's little tricks.

You can imagine how arrogant Yang Rong was in his greed for money.

The sun was just rising, and there were already Jinyiwei on the street.

After a night of investigation, hundreds of people were arrested and thrown into the imperial prison. This is the result of the work of the Jinyiwei without a large-scale mobilization of manpower.

If the Jinyiwei were mobilized on a large scale, the results would be estimated to be several times higher!

In ancient times, there were no electric lights, and ordinary people could not light oil lamps.

Therefore, as soon as the sky was light, people on the street were already busy.

They are serious about controlling time.

How can they sleep during such precious time during the day?

However, just when the Jinyiwei thought that today would be like the usual cases, they would stop after catching this person, which was a bit naive!

Because they dug up a shocking piece of information!

There are ministers in the court who colluded with Japanese pirates!

It was a big deal! The whole court was blown up because of this!

In the imperial study.

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was sitting on the dragon chair, flipping through a copy of the Tao Te Ching in his hand, but his eyes were very vague, which showed that his energy was not completely focused on the scriptures!

He tried his best to make himself look at the scriptures in his hand and try his best to calm himself down! But the memorial from the Jinyiwei next to the table still made him angry!

Too rampant!

Zhu Di picked up the secret report.

Liu Guan, the Minister of Punishment, colluded with the Japanese pirates! !

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes. It was hard for him to believe that his Minister of Rites, Liu Guan, who had followed him for so many years, would actually collude with the Japanese pirates?

Liu Guan had already been promoted to the position of Zuo Qiandu Yushi during the Hongwu period, that is, during the Taizu period! A fourth-rank official!

During the Yongle period, he was promoted step by step, first as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, then as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and until today as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment!

He served as one-third of the six most powerful ministers in the Ming Dynasty!

He also served as the boss of the powerful department-the Censorate!

Zhu Di really couldn't believe that such a person would collude with the Japanese pirates!

However, now the reality is in front of him! The other party actually colluded with the Japanese pirates! The clues of the Jinyiwei were written very clearly, even listing which people and how to support them!

Without the emperor's authorization, the Jinyiwei dared not to take action against high-ranking ministers.

Once they acted blindly, the Jinyiwei would definitely suffer in the end.

Anyway, the emperor would definitely not suffer.

Therefore, even if Ji Gang found evidence of Liu Guan's crime, he still did not arrest him directly, but reported the clues to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di closed his eyes, and Ji Gang did not dare to raise his head and lay down in the hall.

"Catch" Zhu Di opened his eyes, with only coldness in his eyes.

Ji Gang shuddered and said respectfully, "I obey your order!"

The capital is in turmoil again!

The imperial guards rushed out from all the thousand households in an instant!

The Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and the Dali Temple are collectively known as the Three Judicial Departments.

The cases of the Ming Dynasty are basically adjudicated by these three departments.

Of course, under the order of the emperor, the Jinyiwei can participate in the adjudication of the case at any time.

It's just that the Jinyiwei will not arrest people and put them in the imperial prison at will.

At least the Jinyiwei of the Yongle Dynasty will not!

Ji Gang personally led the imperial guards, and rushed to the outside of the Ministry of Justice with murderous intent and galloping horses!

When the people in the Ministry of Justice saw the Jinyiwei coming, their throats instantly rose to their mouths.

Several officials in the Ministry of Justice felt that their mouths were almost unable to open!
